If this was a roof top or church cross or something similar in darker tones this would be a winner.
right!

The sculpt looks fantastic, Erick! Even though Angel/Archangel is one of my and my son's favorite character I've never been crazy about the Bowen version. I'm just going to assume this one will not come in regular colors, but my plan is to pick it up, have it customized with the classic colors and a damaged Sentinel base so it can be added to the Sideshow Diorama. Koto's 1:6 scale match up great with that dio, which is why I was disappointed to see Rogue cancelled.

You can go ahead and say it, I feel the same way!

Can't wait to add this piece to the collection.

I love it, Like I said I was hoping that the wings were spread wide so if you put the other x-force statues in front of them it would kind of be all their backdrops. Now I just need the xforce wolvie, psylocke, and fantomex

Contrast can be good, but in this case I think the contrast is between this statue and the regular Bowen so the starker the differences the better it would be. Ultimately the way it is isn't bad and I may get it because I am impressed.

The bodies are beautiful
and the way I like to sculpt

but you're missing too often in unnecessary things

examples are the basis of Deadpool, the basis of archangel, deer Sabretooth, belt size by colossus
Colossus does not look too "soft" to be a being of metal?

looks like you need a supervisor to do the right things ...
will be 'no accident that the most beautiful things you have done for the sideshow bowen and eletric tiki?
You obviously have no idea about the process that goes into creating these statues Creepy... I do get art directed by Marvel, and yes some things may not be of your liking but Koto/Marvel and I have all agreed to make them in a certain way for a reason, sometimes I don't have much of a say, for example the original idea for this base was a real cool looking gargoyle/angel, but due to certain things beyond my control it got scrapped.
That is the way it is, I am sorry you don't like my stuff, even when you say you do. But it's cool! to each their own. You have plenty of options out there.
I understand how you feel but please be aware when I tell you you probably do not know everything that goes on behind the scenes, ok?
And I agree with you I still have a lot to learn and I mean that 100%.
Just last night I learned how to paint creatures with an airbrush... so yeah still tons to learn
And by the way I doubt the language barrier is the culprit behind your style of getting your points across... maybe you need a supervisor?

Spread wings was the original idea...
